Description

That being said, this book in itself was magnificent. I loved everything about it, from the characters to their different plots and the writing, chefs' kiss. This was my first Tremain book and i am so glad i came across her. I can't really describe it but her writing made me feel some type of way and i want to feel that way again. For the content of the book, plot, characters, I have to say I have enjoyed the build up of the book, the progress and I like how the author decided to finish the book and where she led her characters to in the end... Somehow I feel that at least justice had been served... Now the development of Jane is just *chef's kiss* and the story telling is just amazing. Every characters are intertwined and each chapters brings out a whole other side of their respective stories. I listened to the audiobook because of a childhood crush on Katie McGrath. While her performance is amazing, it is not enough to compensate for the actual garbage fire that is the book itself. Islands of Mercy is a novel that ignites the senses and is a bold exploration of the human urge to seek places of sanctuary in a pitiless world.

In the city of Bath, in the year 1865, an extraordinary young woman renowned for her nursing skills is convinced that some other destiny will one day show itself to her. But when she finds herself torn between a dangerous affair with a female lover and the promise of a conventional marriage to an apparently respectable doctor, her desires begin to lead her towards a future she had never imagined.For cost savings, you can change your plan at any time online in the “Settings & Account” section.

I fell head over heels with this book, I was so invested in the story that lived in the year 1865, I have traveled between London, Bath and Borneo with each character. Feeling uneven and nervous with every situation and decision. I found the descriptions of all paces vivid and, together with insight into social and moral aspects, Ms Tremain managed to provide an authentic feel of the places and times.

Im Fokus des Romans stehen die vorgenannten vier Protagonisten, für die ich mit Ausnahme von Clorinda keine Sympathie aufbringen konnte. Insgesamt fiel es mir schwer, einen Zugang zu den Personen der Geschichte zu finden, weil ein Großteil der Charaktere zwar ungewöhnlich, aber auch ein wenig schablonenhaft wirkt. Gestört habe ich mich auch daran, dass Figuren wie Jane, Valentine und Leon als egoistisch und eingebildet ausgestaltet sind. So gelang es mir nicht, mit den Charakteren mitzufühlen. The French and the Russians are the only writers who follow a dark road like this one. Because they have no fear of scandal, no fear of fear. They show human life in all its difficulty. And they know that readers are wolves.Where to start? The negative stereotypes surrounding bisexual women? The glorifying of a colonizer? The domestic abuse? The world, Jane already knew, reeked horribly of old, exhausted things. Day could follow day without a single original or exciting moment stirring her pulse. But now Aunt Emmeline - by far the most exceptional and independent person the Adeane family - was going to reveal something new. An interesting, engaging historical fiction novel set mostly in Bath, England and Borneo in 1865. In Bath, Jane Adearne, a tall young nurse, works with Valentine Ross, a doctor. Valentine proposes marriage to Jane but she refuses to marry him, leaving Bath to go to London. In Borneo are Sir Ralph Savage and Edmund Ross, brother of Valentine. Sir Ralph is very rich and spends his money trying to do good in Borneo. Edmund goes off into the jungle on a nature expedition.
